From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 70145f87139fbc43b726f873813cd91dce371899 upstream.
With some versions of gcc (e.g. 4.1.2):
drivers/pwm/core.c: In function ‘pwm_get’:
drivers/pwm/core.c:610: warning: ‘polarity’ may be used uninitialized in this function
drivers/pwm/core.c:609: warning: ‘period’ may be used uninitialized in this function
While these are false positives, we can get rid of them by refactoring
the code to store a pointer to the best match, as suggested before by
Thierry Reding. This does require moving the mutex_unlock() down.
Fixes: d717ea73e36dd565 ("pwm: Fix period and polarity in pwm_get() for non-perfect matches")
